Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of separation and purification of rubidium, in particular to a method for extracting rubidium chloride from high-salt brine containing rubidium. Background technique
[0002] Rubidium is a rare alkali metal element widely used in optical glass, thermoelectric generators, atomic clocks, solar cells, medicine and other fields. The content of rubidium in the earth's crust is about 0.028%, which is not low but extremely scattered. So far, no pure rubidium mineral has been found, but exists in other minerals such as mica, cesium garnet, and halides containing cesium, lithium, and potassium. Therefore, it can only be extracted as a by-product, resulting in its scarcity.
[0003] The separation and purification of rubidium is a challenging task, because the associated alkali metal elements have very similar physical and chemical properties. The earliest in the prior art is to use the chloroplatinic acid precipita...
